"WATER IN THE WILDERNESS" retreat: the one-evening Zoom version, offered twice

 Note: This Lent, we offer TWO kinds of online retreats:

  1. on a blog (as we have offered in the past):
No appointment needed: read, gaze, listen, and practice on your own time; resources are posted regularly to mark a rhythm and offer progression and order, but you may pick the hour of day or night and the pace at which you participate; any conversation is in writing -- or you may remain anonymous.
 
 2. on Zoom (as we began offering last year):
Weekly (or in some cases, one-time-only) gathering on Zoom, at an appointed date and time; in real time; any conversation is in person and with your face (or Zoom profile) showing.

                                                 The full list of our Lent 2022 online retreats is here.

Lenten retreats often invite us to withdraw into the wilderness. But two years into the COVID pandemic, we may feel that we have already been in a kind of wilderness! 

This retreat will name and ponder our personal and communal experiences of wilderness and remember some of the wanderings and of our spiritual ancestors. (Forty years in the desert, anyone?)

The retreat will also --especially-- reflect on and pray with biblical and other images of water in the wilderness --verbal and visual. Lent and its practices, even those involving repentance, is for the sake of life. It prepares us to live as Resurrection people.

Come to this retreat as a time of refreshment to remember with your retreat companions God's nourishing power, the enlivening presence of the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ, who speaks of himself in the Gospel of John as the living water. Bring your wanderings and wonderings.
